As was mentioned in a lotof places yesterday, the Alameda Food Bank is short on turkeys this year. So bloggers and media sites in Alameda are teaming up to help out.

We understand that it is hard sometimes to hit the store, pick up a turkey, and get on over to the Food Bank while they are open. Jobs, kids, kid’s jobs, all get in the way (and don’t get me started on pets). So we’ve set a goal of 100 Turkeys in the next three days (gotta put our order in on Monday) in order to produce 10% of Thanksgiving Fowl that the Food Bank needs.

To make it simple, we’ve created this PayPal link and we’re asking folks to consider donating $10 for a Turkey for people in need (we won’t stop you from donating more, we promise). Just click the donate now, you can even put it on your credit card. Turkeys are the number one priority for the Food Bank right now, let’s help them reach this goal.

This holiday, Alameda families in need are at risk of not participating in the tradition of a Thanksgiving turkey dinner. Donations of turkeys to the Alameda Food Bank are below where they typically are at this time of year, and there’s less than a week until T-day. Will you join me, and other fellow Alamedans by donating at least $10 (one turkey) to make sure that all Alamedans have the opportunity to join in the traditional meal of Thanksgiving?
